Finn is so cocky and sure of their relationship that the arrangement seems perfect. He’s not worried Zoey will fall for another guy, and he’s itching to get rid of his feelings of guilt.

I hope readers will like this!
It is not a long story, though.
It is a 17,000-word novella.
Takes about an hour to read (or two at the most.)

So sweet!!! I really, really liked this book. It was only $.99. So, I thought it couldn't be that good, but I REALLY liked it a LOT. And, yeah, it was only $.99. However, it only took me--at the most--an hour-and-a-half to read. 90 minutes!!! But then that is almost like a penny a minute, so that is dang awesome.

I loved this book.
It is very romantic and sweet and I could relate to the hurt and betrayal Zoey felt toward her boyfriend after he cheated on her and how that might make her feel differently toward their relationship, especially when hot Riley is so incredibly sweet to her. She was really torn between the two guys—and it was very realistic, I thought.
Super romantic story that made me go awww.

This was a cute book. Not mind blowing, but fun. I thought it was really cute and I kind of got a crush on Riley as I read along. He was really sweet and mature. Actually, he was super-duper mature. His dad left him in charge of his restaurant for part of the summer while he was away. His dad had Riley be "The Boss." I'd love to have a boss like that, totally swoon-worthy! I think all teen girls would love this book and can totally afford it!!! It only costs a buck! ☺

The Plot - It's simple and cute. Girl has a boyfriend. Boyfriend does stupid stuff. Boyfriend gives a free card to girlfriend so he can feel better about himself. Girlfriend likes cute guy (not her boyfriend) and don't know what to do.

Fall For Me by Melanie Marks sounded like a tempting and cute read. The “Free Pass” idea walks a fine line between sleazy and hot, but this story didn’t deliver on either side of the line.
This story had some cute moments, but it never builds off of them. We never really get to know any of the characters too deeply. I did feel for Riley a bit—the tortured best friend who adored Zoey from afar. They had some sparks together, but again it never progressed. The readers needed more time with...more

I really enjoyed this story. It was fun yet realistic, sweet yet steamy. The steam didn’t come from sleazy stuff though. It was just flirty; full of wanting and yearning. Absolutely no sex.
It's YA, costs .99 cents, and only takes about an hour to read.
The story is about Zoey caught between her long time boyfriend, Finn, and Finn’s hot, sweet best friend, Riley.

Update: I have been informed by the author (in an unprofessional manner) that this book is not self-published.
Update 2: The author has apologized for her email, which is appreciated.
I read a lot of self-published work (oh, my cheap-Kindle-book-buying addiction!) so I'm used to the grammatical errors and typos found so frequently in works like these. However, the writing in this novella felt very choppy to the point of making it almost unreadable. Obviously, it's okay to have incomplete sentences...more

This book was so good and it only cost a dollar! It was so romantic and sweet and I loved the characters. Especially Riley! Hot, sexy, sweet Riley. I wish I knew a guy like him! And that he looked at me the way he looks at Zoey. Swoon! I give it five stars and think you should all read it. And did I mention it only costs a dollar????

Historia muy corta, fue como un parpadeó leerla, pero bastante fluída, y hizo reír bastante, y adoré la ligera relación amor-odio
Además, si mi novio tuviera un mejor amigo así... ¡Uff!

wow, i loved it!!! couldnt put it down it was sooo good and juicy!!!!! Another Great story from Melanie Marks!!! AMAZING!!!!!! cant wait to get my hands on more of her work!!!!!!
But I’d get over it. I knew that. My heart was already mending as it was.
The way he said that had my heart pumping all wild.

I went back to work and tried to ignore Riley’s aversion to me. And my co-workers’ aversion to me. Screw them. Screw them all. I needed the job, and I was good at it, dang good at it. And despite what the other waitresses said, I worked hard. I did. They were just catty, backstabbing, banshees. And who cared if I had no friends at the restaurant, anyway?

So, I thought this was another super cute story by Melanie Marks. Like the last book I read of hers, I wish this one was longer. I thought it’d make a good full length novel, or at least a little longer. Zoey has been with Finn for four years, but recently things have been a little off. Then Finn kisses another girl, feels guilty and tells Zoey she has a free pass to kiss someone else. Kind of a fun premise (although, she should have just dumped Finn’s lame butt when she found out).

After reading my first cheap kindle e-book from Melanie Marks, I was quite impressed and wanted to sample more of her work so I bought Fall for Me which again at 77p, is not exactly unreasonable in price. This is another cute story from Melanie, albeit shorter than the last one and it only took me about an hour to read.
So, immediately this is starting to sound a little like the last book I read of Melanie’s which was His Kiss in that a hot guy wants a kiss from the girl who has a boyfriend. I ac...more

I really enjoyed this book a lot. The chemistry between Jones and Riley was smokin. Plus there was Riley with his smoldering eyes that were always on Jones just waiting, hoping. Some of the scenes between them were so HOT! (But there was no sex or anything like that. It was a very clean fun read with a lot of flirty, steamy stuff, but no sex or swearing or anything.)
Riley was just the perfect guy expect he was following the bro code which was nice for his best friend, Finn, but is never good for...more

Like. Ohmigosh, I. guess. I. will! Write -- a review.
The idea behind the story was cute and there were moments when I really loved the story, but the greatness of the idea got lost in execution. I'd say this is more like 2.5 stars with two major complaints.
1-As other reviewers have mentioned, the gratuitous use of commas, hyphens and PERIODS (LIKE, for.crying.out.loud! - whatever.) were so distracting and really made it hard to read. Not to mention short, incomplete sentences abound. If I read t...more

I just hate cheaters!
I hate it when a guy thinks he can do whatever he wants behind his girlfriend’s back just because he knows she loves him and would be able to forgive him.
I hate guys who take advantage.
Why am I saying all these things?
Let me explain.
Zoey’s boyfriend kissed someone else behind her back and now Finn (Zoey’s boyfriend) gave her a “Free Pass”.
Free pass to kiss anyone she liked so that it would ease him of someone of his guilt on what happened. (I mean seriously?)

I'd give this book a 2.5 rating if it were possible.Not saying that it was all that bad but it lived up to it's $0.99. I guess that's why some books cost more than others.:/
This book was really short, I practically read it in half an hour, not that I was timing myself but I guess that's a good estimate. I liked the way the main character expressed herself. She pretty much expressed herself like a typical I-don't-know-what-I-want hormonal teenager,she pretty much talked and bought like me. Not t

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody
I don't know why I read this book, I saw the bad reviews, the pretty bad average rating but curiosity got the better of me. I don't have that much to say, just that Fall For Me isn't... err... good my cup of tea. I didn't like it.

This one was...interesting.
The plot synopsis was a fun idea, but it turned into something not fun.
Again, the excuses and drama of the girl prevented the story from coming to a swift conclusion. The whole "he hates me" drama lasted ten pages longer than could have possibly been believed by an intelligent person, given the confusion and denial of the other party. Then, the whole playing pool scene. It did not feel like a natural plot progression. Again, it felt like the author was trying to drag...more

This was basically a Novella. around 48 pages on my ibooks. It was cute, fun, and basically an entertaining quick read. As ive mentioned before i love irresistible guys who the protagonist can’t seem to have . Riley was just adorable, basically doing everything Zoey asked for or needed.

Well there is no doubt about it, this is a very short book, but I still enjoyed it. The main character gets cheated on by her boyfriend of 4 yrs when he realizes shes the only one he has ever been with and decides its ok to kiss a coworker of his. So feeling guilty, he gives Zoey permission to kiss someone in return, as a way to settle the score. Even though she has his bf Riley in mind, she refuses to do it because she is afraid of what can transpire from it. She knows they have deep rooted fee...more
This was a cute novella. I enjoy novella's because they are short and sweet and you can finish them very quickly. But, I don't like them because I always want more. More from the characters, the story, just everything. I liked it a lot, but the ending made me really want to read more. I don't want to leave it up to my imagination. I want to know what happened!

I loved this book, the romance is so sweet throughout the whole book, even when Zoey and Riley are both in separate relationships it's so painfully obvious that there ment to be together, and your just begging Zoey to give into Riley throughout the book!

This book was a one quick read - a little breather from the long books I usually read. It was nice, but not to the point of me swooning over. Riley seemed to act old than he's actual age but I admire that he's is a responsible person. Finn is an ass - you don't bet your girlfriends on gambling when you don't have money anymore. You technically don't own them. Zoey - or Jones - whichever you prefer, she tried hard to remain faithful to Finn, even in her thoughts but ended up getting hurt and betr...more
It was ok for a short story but when you think about it, its a small read and the ending kind of breaks. I would be happy if the Zoey broke up with Finn first before being girlfriend to Luke, it seemed off from her sentiments before doing that was really far fetched, it just seemed wrong. She always empathized that her relationship was really important it doesnt mean that Finn cheated her feelings for him just changed like *snap* and to hell with him cheating its just wrong to jump from one guy...more
